JJ Maybank Imagines

Storm

a short one <3

Your heart dropped when you looked at your phone. There was a local warning for a heavy storm coming tonight. You absolutely hated storms and of course tonight you were home alone.

Your parents went away for a weekend to the mainland and you didn't mind that you had the whole house for yourself. Except for tonight then. You've been afraid of storms since you were little.

It all started the night when your brother went missing. It was heavily storming that night and the next morning they found him. Dead. The police said that he was dead before the storm hit but you couldn't believe it.

When that happened you were 9 years old and since that moment every storm that hit the outer banks makes you relive those horrible moments.

You already planned to go to bed early, crawl under your blankets and watch a movie or something.

Getting up, you locked all your doors and closed the windows. It was already getting dark outside so you decided to eat something and went upstairs.

You were halfway through the movie when you heard the loud thunders. It felt as if it happened right above you. You weren't able to focus on the movie anymore so you put away your laptop and pulled the blankets over your head.

A small tear rolled down your cheek. You heard the thunders, the loud wind against your windows and it would probably start raining soon.

Suddenly, you heard a knock on your window. Your body stiffened. Was someone here? Maybe it was a rock or something. Until you heard it again. No it was definitely someone.

With shaky hands, you walked up to your window. You slowly lifted your curtains. Relief washed through you when you saw no one other than JJ standing there, your boyfriend. Immediately, you opened the windows and pulled him inside.

"JJ what are you doing here? There is a freaking storm outside."

"You are afraid of storms."

Your heart softened. You've told him once but you didn't know he remembered. "Did you drive here in the middle of a storm?" He nodded. "I figured you needed me." He said it with such a sweet voice that almost brought tears to your eyes.

Without hesitation you flew around his neck. You felt his arms wrap around your waist. "Thank you" you whispered. He pressed a kiss on your hair.

After a while you let go of him. "What do you want to do? Watch a movie? Cuddle in bed? Go to sleep?" When you thought about it, another thunder was heard. Making you quickly hide in JJ's arms. "Hey it's okay. I'm here with you and I'm not going anywhere."

You clung to him. "Can we just lay in bed and talk?" JJ nodded. "Of course."

The two of you crawled under the blankets and JJ pulled you towards him. "How was your day?" You asked him, trying to distract yourself from the storm that blazed outside.

"It was good. Such a funny thing happened at work." He began to tell a story about a customer who didn't understand the menu and was asking all kinds of weird questions. You always loved watching him tell a story. Listening to him and the sound of his heartbeat made your eyelids heavy and before you knew you slowly drifted off to sleep.

When JJ noticed you were asleep he smiled. You looked so peaceful even though you were afraid of everything that happened outside. He pressed a kiss on your nose.

"Goodnight baby."
